three fold increase since two thousand and eight and it was so it's just a matter of time before spain asks for another thing about. on the currency is market the euro is strong to the greenback despite this negative news coming from the unemployment. the jobs sector i should say and the russian ruble was mixed around the hole they managed to strengthen against both currencies the end of monday's and. the russian markets were also feeling a lot of optimism with the r.t.s. gaining two and a half percent my six of but more than two percent outstanding gainers burbank and gazprom stories their burbank is finalized the acquisition of turkeys the nice bank and gas from a sealed a twenty year contract with india to supply liquefied natural gas. that's all we have for now business will be back in around fifty five minutes time as for now we ask why some critics are saying israeli democracy is a contradiction in terms interviews next.

what we have who is the former head of the world zionist organization and also the former head of the israeli parliament so i thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. israel defines itself as a jewish and democratic state does this definition hold or is there a contradiction between the two marketing wise souls from plastic to the price of one i mean not only it's a democracy it's a jewish democracy and many people maybe most of the people are very satisfied with it because they don't really think about the built in oxymoron or paradox which means the suitable for repeat of the democratic component is the human being it's you and me and him and her we are the source of authority of ourselves the eventually the source or thirty of the jewish component of the equation is the god

in heaven so it's actually a state which was built to. sources of authority democracy and theocracy this is impossible this is a cool ways for its appearance many times when you see into conflicts within israel between church and state between the knesset and very knesset which is the synagogue and the parliament it's along this line is a real democracy or a potential to ocracy so i think that these different mission will not hold water for long in your recent article israel's fading democracy you know mental state of israel's democratic values what are some of the most imminent dangers to israel's democracy it's not an easy question to answer because you see we can assume is in democracies all over the world i mean you see the erode the trust of people in

their democratic elected institutions all over the west. so part of what happens to the western democracy is happens to israel as well and this is. the performance is not good the feeling of the individual that somehow they do not serve the me but this year the day the elected they serve their own. purposes the goals are so fulfilment commissions or whatever it is and it's not there for me so this part of it what happens to the entire west is that in israel you have at least three more components the first one is we spoke earlier and this is the inevitable lesion between church and state. the second is if you define israel as a jewish democratic state and the jewish project takes over the democratic project all of a sudden you realize that we have here an ethnic of the mock will see. democracy be

partial. then you have just a little concept of democracy is a kind of a universal should be universal set of values which is of course my fundamental belief and the fact that in israel we have more than twenty percent of the population who do not belong to the jewish component of the jewish majority create a situation in which many israelis believe mark rossi is the rule of my jury at the rather than understanding that most of the mockery see is about the freedoms and the liberties of the minorities or the freedoms and liberties of the minorities the third component which heroes who threatens the very from vision of these really democracy. is the fact that we don't have a deep democratic heritage the overwhelming majority of israelis are coming from an undemocratic background be the muslim hemisphere be holocaust survivors be people

who immigrated from communist russia which was not the best of democracies ever. it's. so we do not yet have a deep legacy of democratic spirit and when ever you have a threat people we rode to the old system people with the will be no and the devil we knew is not a democratic devil what role do israel's palestinian citizens play in the jewish democratic equation from the point of view of many of. the boy of the system we can we boys of the system mean whenever something bad happens between jews and jews the palestinian the israeli palestinian i mean when lieberman wants to make it come pain again somebody bashes the minority when. the party wants to progress itself it goes against the israeli arabs and there is a competition over let's limit them or who limits them limits then. so i would say

that in many many cases unfortunately the israeli palestinians are that little more space for. the quality and the quality of the israeli democracy and recently most of the tests coming out. what does the word zionism mean to you for me zionism was a very interesting maybe even crucial movement in a concept that was actually the scaffolding. of the jewish structure it was a scaffolding newly erected by the end of the nineteenth century in order to transform or renew or rebuild the structure of from an existing structure into a sovereign one in forty eight the structure is dead the building is built the inauguration was done we can remove the skull we don't need it anymore i mean

personally i'm a human being that's my family name my middle name is that i'm jewish. and my given name that i mean is really how do you we can solve the law of the turn and the palestinian refugees cry for what they call the right to return to their lands regardless of what will happen the should happen between israel and palestine we should address the law the law of return was in this maybe was a necessity that early stages of the state and we still lived under the impression of jews being persecuted because of the judaism and the national belonging to the jewish collective which actually was the fall of the of the wall by the end of or. so. that part of it was a safe haven for jews is neither the fast track for those who are running away because of the for the live because of the jewishness as from now ninety eight percent of the jews are living outside of the immediate threat for their life i mean the twenty four thousand jews in iran four thousand jews in morocco to jews in

afghanistan they're not talking to each other and that's it. the overwhelming majority of the jews are living in a democratic hemisphere. so we should have a normal equal to all citizenship maybe there should be the paragraph that if one individual you or me or me or my uncle or you is being persecuted because of the judaism they will have a kind of struck into citizenship to protect them otherwise all the rest of them normal procedure to join the the israeli collective is for the right of return of the palestinians if there will be two state solution. i have no problem with it them in whatever they want to do in their country welcome you have said that something profound and basic has changed in israel's relationship with the united states and you've also said that netanyahu is great achievement was to make israel

a partisan issue do you think that israel remains an asset. to the united states or has it become a liability new orleans for i can give you is america still in there supporting israel because whether israel is an asset for us you have to ask them ok though. not at all sure if we should continue with the kind of one sided strategy of the israeli government siding with the harshest. new york american philosophy is. the more the most difficult right wing. merciless capitalist economy on one hand and being very very conservative views of the enemies and powers and fears and threats etc preserve the some other stuff israel will not for long will be above the political debate in that it states of america it will be an asset for the

republicans and a liability for the democrats in body and the reader will be told to remove from the american political equations. and severe strategic mistake. by the israeli prime minister binyamin of the neo israel should remain out. in the political nuance in america partisan political norms in america as amberg thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. . looking at some dogs you simply do not believe they can speak and goodness how they can run oh. it's an international sled dog race with those driving the dogs. coming from as far away as australia canada and the us

they come to russia and everybody is so very friendly they welcomed me with open. arms and the scenery is so beautiful it's very much like alaska and so i felt at home the first sled dog was brought here from australia now it's truly has come to this remote russian village to take part in the race it's not surprising they love it this trail are amazing but even more amazing is the story of how racing first started here atoll it wasn't the top of sled dog racing who set the trail of place but a nun and for all friends who brought their dia to life five years ago mother put a scare of a bill to dog kennel in the village kids from the local open age came around to take care of the dogs and one day they state their life might seem extreme to some the boys wake up at six to feed to the dogs before school in the evening they spend up to three hours training their full legged friends but smother perske have also

encourages her kids to become depth hands on the computer and internet the boys who regularly update their website and they're in touch with their busy mother twenty four seven on the phone each summer but children are the most important thing my only interests not play any rule any more and regardless of whether parsky has huskies window race or not she hopes the competition will take place in the village next year. but called these dogs and the children it really is not the winning but truly just the taking part that counts. my parents really truly honestly believe that what had happened was as a result of my father's exposure to agent orange i was born with multiple problems

. i was missing my leg. and my fingers and my big toe on my right foot i use my hands a lot in my artwork i find myself drawing my hands quite a bit to me for my hands you know just as if anyone won but they do tell a story they tell us story of. oxen. thank
